The temptation to acquire a pair of goggles used off eBay for $150 is strong.

I’m stoked that homebrew apps are starting to come for Light Phone III, like someone made this QR collection app.

They require hacks to install, it’s not sideloading friendly.

Termux packages are customarily installed from within a purpose-built terminal emulator application, but access is also granted to Emacs when it is built with the same application signing key, and its “shared user ID” is set to the same package name, as that of the terminal emulator program. The file java/INSTALL within the Emacs distribution illustrates how to build Emacs in this fashion.

Don’t do this if you already have Emacs installed with a different shared user ID, as the system does not allow programs to change their user IDs after being installed.

Emacs on Android seems like reading this manual section was necessary and I’m gonna have to refer to it again later.

Thankfully things are getting better in F-Droid land.

I can’t get behind this reasoning.

Which store is best depends on each user’s threat model. If the threat is that an app developer could insert a backdoor in their own app, F-Droid is better. If the threat is that the F-Droid team could insert a backdoor in an app, or that an app could contain a vulnerability that may be exploited if the app is not updated for one week, Accrescent is better.

“Protection against malicious devs isn’t necessary because it’s not in our ‘threat model’” is seriously a way some people think…?!

I switched from koreader to lxreader yesterday and even if no-one fixes the following nitpick.

I’m so happy I made the switch. I really did like one other koreader feature, those vertical lines (they call it a “speedreader module” but I just think they look nice and help my astigmatism) but I can live without that too because the main benefit of lxreader is a more consistent application of styles and no weird annoying numbers in the margins that I never understood the point of and always hated.

Neat hacks (and it sucks that Light are trying to stop these hacks).

But it can have all the hacks in the world and it’s still no good if it triggers brain issues. Yeah, yeah, I’m pretty sure my current Nokia 8210 4g is just as bad in that regard. But I’m sick of blacking out this often.

Open source auto-updater for Android apps Can download from github, etc

Reproducible builds solve that.

So now we no longer have to face the choice between trusting one app (the app store itself) with thousands of eyes on it vs cumulatively trusting dozens and dozens of individual app devs including some weird niche apps that only you need, any of which could’ve included malware. We can know that the APK the dev built and the APK the app store built and the APK any security-conscious third party can build are all exactly the same and built from the same source dist.

Here is the news section.

It has a new paragraph.

Here is the modern day equivalent of that.

Here is an archive of the link from the Flym repo README.

Här är en annan som tipsar om hur man gör sina egna uppsättningar men det nollställs när man startar om maskinen?!?

Aha, här hittar vi nåt.

Enlig tden ska altgr + w ska tydligen vara å och altgr + shift + kolon ska vara en ring som jag vet inte om det är gradtecken eller dödring (om det ens finns döda ringar utöver Drakar och Demoner). Men den verkar inte vara installerad på den InkPalm jag använder för att testa i väntan på en riktig Android. På InkPalm går det att skriva altgr + u för döda prickar så det är uppenbarligen inte samma.
